Hi all, Quick question: I have just bought a UK Z, which I understand should have adjustable suspension. How is this adjustment made? Cheers. DG.

I read in another thread that uprating the zorst manifold on a N/A can increase bhp, if so does anybody know which one is best, how much more bhp and where do i get one?? :duffer: :duffer: :bow:

It wasn't me.... BUT! My mate in a dark red supra saw a silver ZX (felt honoured) :bow: and the ZX slowed to have a look then was gone. If it was anyone on here he said to say HI!. :duffer:

You were heading west around 1.45 between J9 and 10 (Maidenhead to Reading) in the outside lane. I was heading east in a red ZX also in the outside lane (where else :D ) Anyone?? Richard :smw:

My 300zx tt has had a low idle speed for several months, around 600rpm. over the last week or so, this has slipped further down, it was 500rpm for a while, today it was suddenly at 300 and then it stalled. Now it won't idle at all, it will stall immediately when I don't give any pedal. I checked the cables coming out of the TPS, one of them appeared broken so I fitted a new connector. No effect on the idle speed whatsoever. I also cleaned out some green gunge from the TPS connectors, but it wasn't much. The engine runs normally when I press the accelerator, only the idle seems to have problem. I guess it has nothing to do with it, but the aircon is seize…

Just to forewarn The items for sale a pair of auto turbos description 80,000kms no end float blah blah. Funny this caus i have the same ones sat beside me as i write, bought from the same guy last week. I have spoken to him because the ones pictured are Not the ones you will get. I am not happy because one of the turbos looks great and the other looks oily possible oil seal gone on exhaust side and they dont look matched and the wastegate actuator looks badly oxidised and rusty.

Hi All, Just a few questions about engine flush and some of the additives I saw when I went to A1 Discount Autoparts earlier (don't know if they're a chain or not). I went in to get a few bits and bobs to enable me to change the oil (tray for catching the waste in and all that) and also some lubricant for the climate control sensor fan in the roof which occasionally starts shreeking like a banshee or something. So anyway I was completely boggled by the number of engine flushes, petrol additives, radiator additives (for blocking holes), transmission fluid additives (ditto) and the like. I'm following Simon's (oilman) advice on flushing the engine and chan…
